Answer:

  480 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry involves two similar triangles. The ruler at arms length forms a triangle that has the opposite side 3 inches high and 24 inches (2 ft) away. That is, the distance from the eye to the ruler is 8 times the height of the ruler.

The triangle involving the lighthouse is similar. That is, the angles in it are the same, so the sides are proportional to those in the smaller (ruler) triangle. The distance to the lighthouse will be 8 times the height of the lighthouse, just as the distance to the ruler is 8 times the height of the ruler.

  8 × 60 ft = 480 ft

The lighthouse is 480 feet away.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: F

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically like 2 rectangles. Find the area of both and add them together.

Remember that the area is l x w.

Area of Rectangle 1: l = 7, w = 14

14 x 7 = 98cm^{2}

Area of Rectangle 2: l = 5, w = 14

14 x 5 = 70cm^{2}

Add the areas together: 98cm^{2} + 70cm^{2} = 168cm^{2}

The complementary event is that a customer does not enter the store within one minute of closing, and the probability is 75%.

The complement is found by subtracting from 100%; 100-25 = 75%.
